My mum's going on a plane to new zealand, how worried should I be?

[Anonymous]

My mum is going on a plane to new Zealand today, should I be worried? As there is the virus going around and people have been having problems with planes lately? I'm just really concerned something bad will happen! Should I be concerned or not all all?

It appears that things are Getting More under control now with the Ebola virus and happily I can report that I am hearing less and less of-----Having problems with planes lately.
Before the elections a month ago, I was Hearing More and more redrick with the deadly virus to the point where I was afraid myself to travel abroad... I was prepared to wear a mask and gloves, believe me.
No, don't worry about mum, sweetie, everything seems to be under control. I live in New York and being JFK is One of the top ten Largest airports in the world, everything is peachy king as it stands right now, thank God.
Don't bring any gloom and doom to her trip, but help her pack and bid her a happy bon voyage.
Good luck. xx

If she was flying to africa - you might have a 0.01% chance of problems from ebola but in new zealand she has nothing to worry about.

Odds are that she'll be fine. There's a greater risk in the car ride to the airport than there is on the plane.

You should be worried. New Zealand has Maori they will do a kind of war dance as a greeting and then eat her.

[Asker]

That's not even funny. How would you feel if someone said that to you.

[retrogamegirl]

My grandmother was Maori, I'm like an 8th Maori or something so I can say it.

[Asker]

Doesn't entitle you to say it really. I meant more for the Malaysian airplane and ebola thing not about new Zealand. Just to clear that up.

[Asker]

It has nothing to do with new zealand, as in fact I was worried about her flight and second my mum's partner is from new Zealand so stop please.

[retrogamegirl]

It was a joke. Jeez , stop taking it so seriously. That's what people from Australia and New Zealand do, they make jokes about each other and they can hack it.

[Asker]

If you have nothing good to say...

[retrogamegirl]

I was actually being friendly. You should talk to your mum's boyfriend more often.

[Asker]

I do. Never mind, let's just put it to rest.

This is true about Australians and New Zealanders making fun of each other and being able to "hack it". New Zealanders can probably hack it to a lesser extent but I digress.

However racially motivated comments like these are part of the banter less these days and are starting to become frowned upon.

[retrogamegirl]

@Sexualchrist oh you're one of those racial sensitive types are you? Well stick it up your arse homosexualchrist!

[Sexualchrist]

@retrogamegirl That was very harsh! Sexualchrist is kind of butthurt, I don't really have a comeback for that... other than it's what Hitler would say.

[retrogamegirl]

@Sexualchrist yeah that's right you're butthurt from taking it up the butt!

[Sexualchrist]

@retrogamegirl Said the girl who answered the question about how to take it up the butt with less pain. You must take it in the arse a lot to be in the know about that stuff. You should be careful at your age or you'll end up in adult nappies.
Oh yes, the Sexualchrist knows about you.

[abundantlyrich]

Its not a good time to joke...

[abundantlyrich]

Smart comeback @sexualchrist

There aren't many plane issues yes this year iw not so fortunate, but remember there are many smooth flights in fact majority.

Not really. She probably shouldn't get on those Malaysia planes.
